Previous studies have primarily focused on the influence of pain\u2010related expectations on perceived pain intensity. However, expectations regarding negative\u2010valence information more broadly may impact perception beyond pain and be altered when pain becomes chronic. The current study aimed to investigate whether patients with chronic pain exhibit alterations in social\u2013emotional expectations beyond pain perception.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty\u2010five adults with chronic pain, recruited at the Pain Unit of Hospital del Mar in Barcelona (three excluded prior to analysis; final\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200932) and 35 age\u2010 and gender\u2010matched healthy controls performed a social perception task designed to elicit expectations about facial expressions and assess their impact on social evaluation. Facial expressions were either stereotypically congruent with the evoked emotion (matched trials) or stereotypically associated with a different emotion category (non\u2010matched trials). Expectations (predictability ratings) and social evaluation (likability ratings) were measured.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Selective alterations were observed for pain interference and intensity. Pain interference was associated with reduced differentiation of predictability ratings between matched and non\u2010matched trials, suggesting less stereotypical emotion expectations. In contrast, pain intensity (and chronic pain condition itself) was associated with a stronger relationship between predictability and likability ratings, suggesting a greater reliance on predictability during social evaluation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our findings suggest that chronic pain may be associated with alterations in social\u2013emotional expectations and in their relationship with social evaluation, potentially influencing not only pain perception but also affective and interpersonal functioning.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance Statement<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study suggests that chronic pain is associated with alterations in social\u2013emotional expectations beyond nociception. Individuals with chronic pain showed a stronger relationship between predictability and likability ratings. In contrast, higher pain interference was associated with smaller differences in predictability ratings between stereotypically matched and non\u2010matched emotional cues. These associations may help illuminate cognitive\u2013emotional factors linked to the emotional and interpersonal difficulties commonly observed in chronic pain.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/ejp.70371","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T16:09:16Z","timestamp":1788970156000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Affective Predictions in Chronic Pain: Differential Associations With Pain Interference and Intensity"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4203-3287","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tal","family":"Ivancovsky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Salvatore","family":"Cajiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6571-503X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan R.","family":"Casta\u00f1o\u2010Asins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit Hospital del Mar  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Montes\u2010P\u00e9rez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pain Unit Hospital del Mar  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva","family":"Cort\u00e9s\u2010Velasco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan V.","family":"Luciano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"},{"name":"Teaching, Research &amp; Innovation Unit Parc Sanitari Sant Joan de D\u00e9u  Sant Boi de Llobregat Spain"},{"name":"Centre for Biomedical Research in Epidemiology and Public Health (CIBERESP)  Madrid Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lorena","family":"Chanes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"},{"name":"Institute of Neurosciences, Autonomous University of Barcelona  Barcelona Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_11_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11123259"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tics.2012.05.003"},{"key":"e_1_2_11_4_1","first-page":"37","volume-title":"Handbook of Experimental Pharmacology","author":"Atlas L.
